A woman whose hair reaches to her waist,
thick as ones wrist when braided, needs no
artificial ornaments to adorn her head, and
abundant hair needs less care to arrange than
q scanty crop. AL women can possess such
hair if they give the proper care 1t is not
best to keep the hair closely cut; after seven
years it need not be touched by the scissors
except to clip the forked ends once every
month Constant brushing is the secret Of
iuxuriant shining tresses, as it strengthens
the hair and brings out its natural luster, and,
by brushing, the ugliest red hair can be
changed to a warm golden tint. Use hard
brush; do not pass it lightly over the hair, but
with firm, steady strokes brush until the
scalp glows. If just before retiring YOU
loosen your hair and brush it this way YOU
viii find you can sleep much better. Braid
it IN two loose plaits, or, if very short, leave
it unbound, as the hair should always be well
aired and need not be bound unnecessarily.
Do notuse pomades, dyes or preparations of
any kind, and above all things don't wear
night caps; covering the head with cap is
almost as bad as putting clothes pin ON the
nose at night to keep out the cold Many
ladies have the mistaken idea that the head
and face should be closely covered when walk
ing even short distance in the sunshine: 90
ing often into the air and sunlight, except at
noon, benefits the complexion as well as the
hair. Tow headed people should remember
that the sun changes the color of their hair to
q more agreeable shade.
Combs are not a necessity for long hair, ex-
cept to comb out tangles; the sharp teeth in
jure the scalp and produce dandruff. Wash
ing the hair in cold sage tea promotes the
growth and prevents falling out; burdock
root tea is also good. Washing the hair with
soap renders it coarse and brittle and splits
the ends; instead of which take the yelk of
an egg, beat slightly with the hand. adding a
few very few drops of water and rub well
into the roots. This cleans the scalp and makes
the hair soft and silky. Allow about two
minutes to get nearly dry, then rinse the
head well in tepid water, into which pour a
few drops of ammonia (ammonia is the most
healthful stimulus known for the hair and
quickens its growth when nothing else will
do SOY. After washing wipe and rub the hair
dry with Il towel; brush and part carefully
with the fingers and dry in the sun, or, in
winter, dry by the fire. Never go into the
open air until the hair is thoroughly dry.
Shampooing the hair every morning in cold
water and then brushing until the scalp
glows is good for the hair when it is short
and will not grow. Crimping pins do not in
jure the hair, unless they are of metal and
the hair is put up too tight on them. If the
hair is unnaturally dry, mixture of half an
ounce of carbonate of ammonia in pint of
sweet oil makes the best hair invigorator.-
